Yes, I was a weird, nerdy kid and yes, I was one of the A/V geeks. These are some of my stories. Don't look at me like that.

Was just looking at my NAS's video stash and while adding Omri Cohen's positively brilliant "The Basics of Modular Synthesis With VCV Rack 2" videos I just bought I notice that I still have the full series of 90 classic "Destroy All Software" videos by Gary Bernhardt.

I sit like a great nerdy dragon atop my enormous nerdy hoard and hope that I can leverage it all in this lifetime :)

Hush little baby, don't you cry
Papa's gonna buy you a TTY
and if that teletype's obsolete
Mama's gonna give you a DEC VT
and if that terminal's too dumb
Papa will find a BBS connection
and if that analog modem don't sing
Mama's gonna install a token ring
and if that ring drops its 3-byte frame
Papa's office gonna sponsor ISDN
and if that terminal adapter won't bond
Mama's gonna sign up for cable broadband
and if that broadband plan gets capped
Papa'll pirate wifi from a nearby bank
and if that jury-rigged cantenna takes flight
Mama's gonna point to a satellite
and if Starlink triggers Kessler cascade
Papa'll send magtapes in a van brigade
and if that magtape van melts down
You'll still be the sweetest little netgeek in town

Burning out my fragile little brain this evening with a game of Dominations

It is not yet 9am, I have already had a chat with someone I have never met before about how he might use cycling race data to detect crashes in near real-time.

#NerdLife Wollte für meine Studies ein Handout erstellen, mit LaTex, erstmal neues Template gelernt (Tufte!), denn gemerkt, die Links sind zu lang, also einen eigenen Link-Shortener gebaut, eigene Zertifikatsverwaltung kaputt gemacht, alles wieder gerichtet. Hab um 9 angefangen. Jetzt schreib ich endlich das Handout.

Just your average evening, organizing a small army of MFA devices. Who needs hobbies when you have OTP tokens and FIDO keys to test? #NerdLife #MFA #UseMFA

Teoría conspirativa: cada vez que me voy y vuelvo a la habitación donde estoy usando la computadora, el monitor JUSTO se está poniendo en stand by.

No importa si me fui a calentar el agua para el mate o si fui al super que está a 5 cuadras.

Entonces voy corriendo a mover en mouse pero ya es tarde, tengo que perder como 5 segundos de mi vida hasta que se vuelve a prender

Por alguna razón, el calor, las vacaciones, el aire acondicionado, me dan ganas de cacharrear con alguna compu vieja y probar algún #BSD o alguna distro rara de #Linux.

Lo hice una vez, creo que el verano pasado, con una laptop bastante limitada, en donde puse Arch32, jwm y me estuve metiendo en tildes y canales de IRC todo por consola, mientras estaba en una casa de vacaciones con mi familia y me quedó la asociación grabada en la mente desde entonces

#tmux afficianados: What are the big reasons you keep using tmux locally?

I know the benefits of using it for remote work, and fully intend to keep using it there, but I'm questioning whether it's worth the ongoing extra faff to run locally.

I only really ever use it to get random access to tabs/panes, and otherwise it seems to be costing me in ways that are making me question its value.

Examples:

• Every time I choose a new terminal I need to faff with the truecolor settings so my apps like Neovim will work properly.
• Having tmux auto-run on login means I miss anything printed by my shell at startup
• I need to ensure all my apps are using the tmux copy/paste protocol.
• After a bit less than a year using it I STILL haven't managed to get used to the history/search/selection mechanism. This isn't tmux's fault but still.

Erster #Advent! Und bei euch so? #NerdLife

Friday night. Could be doing anything, but here I am installing MediaWiki to wrangle my network notes before I forget. Pretty sure I’ve already forgotten half of it. Why not, right?

Hey check out Ready Singer One at Japan Matsuri in London last month!

Such a great crowd, we had a blast.
